Evers, Walker statistically tied in latest Marquette University Law School poll

With just four weeks to go until the November 6 election, the latest Marquette University Law School poll has incumbent Governor Scott Walker with 47 percent support among likely voters, compared to 46 percent for Democrat Tony Evers and 5 percent for Libertarian Phil Anderson. The results amount to a statistical tie. In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat Tammy Baldwin leads Republican Leah Vukmir, 53 percent to 43 percent.

WEAC President Ron Martin said the extremely tight race for governor will come down to getting out the vote.

“Wisconsin public school educators stand firmly with Dr. Evers, because he’s focused on the issues that matter – like schools and roads,” Martin said. “This race depends on getting out the vote, and we have the edge on voter enthusiasm, especially among independents. The poll continued to show that most voters want to increase funding for their schools rather than reduce property taxes – there are 61 districts going to referendum on November 6 to do just that.

“Wisconsin schools are not better off under Walker, and on November 6 we’re confident Walker will finally get the message.”

Wisconsin voters have a more favorable view of Democrats than Republicans, according to the poll:
